GreenGiant2 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Winton. Is the manufacturer. Built in 1935 and was coupled to a Gen set to provide power for the town of Arcade ny. Ran till 1955 and purchased by a gravel pit for power. Ran till 1985 when a thief stole all the copper from the electric service. At that time the owner refused to fix and purchased a new cat Gen set. The one that I have to haul still runs even after being in a big building fire over 10 yrs ago. I would post other pics of gravel pit but I have not asked owner yet and has many older trucks and don't want to have an issue. On a side note these engines where used in the battle ships. When in battle they couldn't keep up with the cruisers so Winton produced aluminum pistons. They found out that they would melt. So they made new ones from aluminum and bralilium. At the time it was top secret and doubled the rpm and hp. This one is 375 rmp and 500 hp. 1 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.
